	Hmmm -- that has me wondering.  On my '91 200Q, the auto-check
	display starts displaying garbage once in a while, especially
	if the car has been out in the sun a lot.  And I remember that
	one of the cars I looked at (an '89) had the display permanently
	displaying garbage. I suppose it's possible that bad soldering
	could be responsible for this as well ... anyone else see similar
	symptoms on their cars?  (You know, the relatively low-tech
	scheme on my '85 is probably a more robust one).
